Some markets are just less attractive for oms to sell evies into. If you're a two car household with a driveway, an actualyi, think the us. Is one of those markets where that can be a really good driver,. other markets, less so. And then i mean, when i think more broadly about global ev adoption, i think there's a very clear trend of market priortization from the auto makers because some markets aren't as big and they don't command as much importance in the portfolio Auto makers is worried about.
In the tech world, there’s a common belief that once a new device hits 5% market penetration, it rapidly goes from a niche to mass adoption. According to Bloomberg, the US has just passed that critical 5% tipping point for new EV purchases. Norway, an oil-rich country, was first to hit that 5% mark in 2013 and today boasts a stunning 86% of new cars being fully electric. Now California is driving the US along a similar road away from gasoline and diesel by passing a new law that will only allow emission free vehicles to be sold by 2035. Even with that California law, how confident can we be that all new American cars will be running clean? What does the 5% tipping point mean for other clean tech adoption?
